What it is, is funky!

When the acid jazz scene ruled the world, it looked for its inspiration in places that other jazz fans tended to overlook—the soul jazz of the late ’60s and early ’70s. The music of lounge bars and small clubs that fueled the nightlife of Black America. This compilation brings together ten examples of the sound and is a high-quality listen from start to finish.

In the post-bebop world, jazz was often condemned as an intellectual music aimed at the head, not the feet. But a strain of the music was always for dancing, coming straight from the legacy of the big bands, and always tipping its hat to what was going on in the R&B charts.

The tracks included here all stay true to that legacy.

1. Six Million Dollar Man Theme –richard "Groove" Holmes
